ACT I
Overture
Twenty lovesick maidens we
Still brooding on their mad infatuation
I cannot tell what this love may be
Twenty lovesick maidens we (reprise)
The Soldiers of our Queen
If you want a receipt for that popular mystery
In a doleful train
Twenty lovesick maidens we (reprise)
When I first put this uniform on
Am I alone and unobserved?
Long years ago—fourteen maybe
Prithee pretty maiden

ACT I: FINALE
Let the merry cymbals sound
Now tell us, we pray you
Your maiden hearts
Come walk up and purchase with avidity
True love must single-hearted be
I hear the soft note
But who is this

ACT II
Sad is that woman’s lot
Turn, oh turn in this direction
A magnet hung in a hardware shop
Love is a plaintive song
So go to him and say to him
It’s clear that mediaeval art alone retains its zest
If Saphir I choose to marry
When I go out of door
I’m a Waterloo House young man
